Rocks, Rocks, and More Rocks

What is it that is sooo intriguing about rocks?

I absolutely love rocks!

I also love water. Therefore, the combination of the two became the subject matter for my latest watercolor painting. My focus was depth. I wanted viewers to go deep into the water to discover the rocks below. Playing with the shapes in the water surface was fun, too.

The art therapist in me wondered why the desire for such depth?

Not sure if this painting is done........Not sure if I really like it or not.....Might just be an inspiration for another painting.

Welcome!

About Me

The flow of the water and pigments on paper fascinates me. Painting with watercolors is a blend of spontaneity and control and freedom. Each act of painting begins with the thought, “I wonder what will appear?” There is no formula to painting with watercolors. In the midst of painting an inner guidance says, some purple here, now.

Along with creating art, especially watercolor painting, I design workshops and classes with specific foci to explore the creative process through art media to foster self-awareness.

"Artistic expression lies in all of us and requires only a sense of trust and the freedom to allow the flowing for magic to happen."
